"He thinks snow in Victoria undermines the theory of global warming."

If true, that would show not only ignorance of the issue, but also a lack of understanding of history and a muddling of the facts. For example, Victoria did not experience record cold temperatures for those days, just unusual conditions.

Assuming that a single point can invalidate the theory of global warming, an assumption that has no scientific validity at all, there have been much colder spells in the past. And that seems to argue against this particular datum. Off the top of my head, the winter of 1982 (IIRC) there was ice in both Galveston Bay and Laguna Madre as there was in the 1940s. In the 1800s, Galveston Bay froze so solid that people could walk on it. Temperatures were much colder, and colder longer, that the recent cold snap we had.

Are you sure that is what he meant?
